That said, I don't agree with dishonour system for PvE. If i'm with a useless group I'll leave within the first 10 minutes because I have better things to do with my time than not get the mission done...Not to mention real life issues coming up to prevent you finishing a mission...

I do agree that a hero or hench of the missiong profession should be immediately added so the rest of the team can continue if they want.

I think I like the idea, but I'm not quite sure.

I would like a henchman or hero to replace a leaver, yes. Sometimes I'd rather just go with henchmen and heroes to begin with. My past few groups have been full of assholes. A group attacked us..."omg wtf dont agro thos" And somehow an argument erupted and I stayed out of it, as hard as it was. Henchmen and heroes don't do this. So, what (I think) I am saying is that having a hero or henchman replacing a leaver would not only quiet things down, we'd still have that party member. Win/win.

I'll post this in hopes that it makes sense. I barely understood my own writing.

there is now way to confuse a leaver with a disconnect, leavers leave right away and it says "so and so has left".
just replace them with hench when that occurs.
if disconnected, replace with hench when disconnect timer expires

I don't see what would be hard about this. The game would only have to make a hero identical to the person(same skills, runes, weps etc...) that left and put it in the leaver's place. It could be potentially exploited, however, such as providing people over 3 heroes which is obviously what A-Net doesn't want.

But the group has still chosen a player over a hero to begin with. We're not suggesting you just allow a fourth hero to begin with, but only if its necessary due to leaving, and I'd like to see it auto assigned, rather than the team leader adding a hero of theirs as there are still many players without GWEN or NF.

Well yes it would be auto assigned, I simply said hero for some reason

The player left in the game couldn't customize it, but it would just have all the same traits as the player that was the leaver.

Also, the way it could be exploited is that people could get their buddies to come as a specific setup in a mission and then just leave but you still have an advantage over a norm H/H team.
